Summary
The Taming of the Hunters was an event in the history of the Covenant.[1] It seems that the Taming began during the Covenant Age of Doubt when they were actively scouring the galaxy for Forerunner technological remnants, as well as for races who had Forerunner relics on their homeworlds. They stumbled on the Hunters, a hive creature biologically constructed of multiple worm-like creatures fusing into one body and one consciousness. The Covenant, appreciative of the Lekgolo's prowess, saw that their home planet had Forerunner relics on it and so offered them the chance to join the Covenant. This offer was flatly rejected and so it broke out into war. The Hunters won most, if not all, of the ground battles against the Elites, because of their sheer size and ferocity, and apparently also killed an Arbiter at some point. Seeing no other way to win, the Covenant threatened to wipe out the Hunter race by means of orbital bombardment, forcing the Hunters to surrender. As a result, the Hunters are deeply respectful of the Elites and choose to side with them during the Civil War of the Covenant.
